First and foremost, the mission of Sprague School is to enable all students to become committed, confident, and caring people who think and communicate about feelings, concepts and ideas of consequences. We do this through an educational program that extends the principles and values of the system's other 6 elementary schools. Starting with a common curriculum that establishes learning goals for each grade in each subject, our faculty takes time to carve individual paths for the range of different learners within our school. Alongside of our academic goals, our expectations for building community have the following values at their core: Help, Effort, Appreciation, Respect, and Teamwork. Altogether, they are known as Sprague's HEART values.

Because Sprague is the newest of Wellesley's elementary schools, opening in September, 2002, we feel it's important that students know its history and its architectural significance. The original Sprague School opened in 1924 and served the community through the 70s when it was closed. The new design preserved the original architectural themes and historical artifacts.
